b. 45 dollars
c. 150 dollars
d. 495 dollars
e. 71 dollars

Answer 1

e. 71 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter was willing to but the wine for $45

In a year, there is an increase of $15 = $45 + $15 = $60

The interest rate of 10% of $60 = $6

Total = $66 ~ $70

Therefore, the amount he is willing to pay for the win if he buys it as investment would be 71 dollars.
